The vaccine will be vital in our efforts to defeat meningitis in the region, which saw a 30% rise in annual cases in 2023. The vaccine's development shows the power of collaboration & innovation. Huge thanks also to Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office, @Gavi, PATH & partners for the great support.

The rollout of the world’s first multivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine in Nigeria is yet another indication of what we can achieve with partnerships. I want to thank the SerumInstituteIndia for this milestone and for the enduring commitment to the health of all in Africa.

It's 6 days until the 1st International Conference on #PENPlus in Africa, #ICPPA2024 .

Join the conversation as we:
✔️Share best practices in NCDs care & management
